I wrote about the long-running problem with GIMP's name on @thespacebar, and some of the attempts over the years to change it. #tech #linux

Stop making me download your fucking app just to look at something I should be able to see in a browser

here's a classic for pride month :)

I can still hear those blades whooshing back and forth. This was peak console UI. Wish there was some type of Steam Deck mod for this.

Google is continuing with its plan to phase out Manifest V2 extensions in Chrome starting in early June 2024, weakening the abilities of ad blockers.

If you're really digging this early spring-like weather, you'll love the latest temperature outlook for June 6th through 14th. Below normal temperatures likely across a broad section of the central and eastern U.S. Even better, the precipitation outlook calls for about normal chances for rain during that period; I'm not seeing any prolonged cloudy/rainy spells.

@darth Good morning Darth!

Our users have determined that this is easy to work around by disabling the app rather than the accessibility service not being activated. It's possible for those apps to see that it's not activated and they can see it's a first party OS component so it makes very little sense.

Unfortunately, some banks are trying to make life harder for blind people and others reliant on accessibility services. A few have started banning using their app if a non-Google accessibility service app is installed, even if it's not activated (TalkBack is off by default).

GrapheneOS has been working towards providing accessibility for blind users so we include our own build of TalkBack. We plan to include a text-to-speech (TTS) app and Setup Wizard integration to make it usable out-of-the-box. We can't do much to make installing more accessible.

Oh man, this news story. Former MLA from Manitoba asks Meta's own "ask AI" chatbot if a phone number he found on Google is really Meta support. It tells him yes. It isn't, and he's scammed out of $500 and control of his accounts. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/facebook-customer-support-scam-1.7219581
